The Forest's Edge is a classic grind-style mud with a vast world set up for players to explore. The game is ever-evolving with new zones, items, and features being added all the time.
What do I mean by grind-style? Well, be prepared to put in some time, and have a blast doing so! The world is, as said, VAST. And you will need to familiarize yourself with the Wiki to maximize your experience here. There's about a dozen classes including the unlockable classes you have to earn through the atman and essence system-- This game's version of end-game content.
Re-morting provides a bankable credit system that increases stats, resistances, and opens up powerful prestige classes with unique and potent abilities.
Character descriptions and an introduction system provide a roleplaying feel, but without the sometimes over-bearing feel of an RP-enforced mud. Questing also helps meet the itch for those that still enjoy this element of the MUD experience.
Items range from the mundane to the highly sought after. Armor can be worn in layers, something you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else! Item enchantment is also a powerful option. Unique 1-of-abilities appear on many items, and sentient-type weapons can be found through out the game.
As has been stated, botting is permitted here and is actually quite common to varying degrees. Players from various time zones and parts of the world play at different hours. Do not be discouraged by a lack of open-channel chatter, players tend to communicate more in clan channels or group talks or are not at keys for long periods. Someone will eventually respond to your inquiry! Folks love to help out new players, give it a moment, someone WILL help you out if you need it!
